WP ecommerce product category title also shows as first product title

Hi, I had a similar issue in a test version of an e-commerce site I am working on and thought I had found a fix on gasolicious.com, but here’s what happened.
After a fresh install of wordpress, craftycart theme (theme originally chosen by client a while ago) and wp e-commerce plugin, the category pages that showed all the products in that category were showing the last product’s name as the page title.
Gasolicious had noticed this bug and provided code that for page.php that worked a little too well. Now product category pages are showing the name of the product category at the top (which is what I wanted), but the first product listed is showing the category title as well and not the product’s name! If you have found a fix for this, please share what worked for you!

I’m guessing you probably have fixed or given up on this, but I managed to find a fix looking around.

Apparently some people get a problem where the first product has no title instead of the category name glitch. The fix is to add an extra call of the product title to the while loop on wpsc-products_page.php

Hi jeemer – thanks so much. I had this issue and found your post straight away. My problem was in the list display – the category name was showing as the first product name. I did the same fix in wpsc-list_view.php and all good.

Hi I am using WP 3.4.1 (Twenty Eleven theme) and WP e-Commerce 3.8.8.5 and the category title on the single category page is getting replaced with the title of the last (alphabetically) product in that category. I’ve tried what has been suggested above but I didn’t manage to fix the issue.

Someone claimed that this bug has something to do with how you post your product images / thumbnails into the product page. When I created a new product with exactly the same way as others before it, the category title was printed out as supposed (instead the product name).

So there is a difference between these two types of products that I’ve managed to create and I believe I could modify my old products in the database to be the same way as the new one but do you have any suggestions where to start looking from?

Hi I have a problem to show the product category name as a page title even there is no item under the category.
WP ecommerce’s default, it is showing as “Products Page” if there is no item.
So how I can get category title when there is no item under the category.
